Johanna Parks CAIB - Operations Manager Darling Insurance

… the most engaging and effective instructor I have ever had the pleasure of learning from, she also makes herself available to provide additional tutoring, guidance or just an ear if you need to talk something through. Not only would I not hesitate to recommend Melanie to someone, but it would be both my honour and pleasure to do so!

Melanie is efficient, detailed and to the point. Melanie gets personally invested, has a wealth of information and professional contacts in the business, and always knows someone to assist. Her reputation is strong, professional, diligent and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Melanie and MRD Training & Consulting Inc. I honestly believe I would not be celebrating our successes if I had done this on my own. Thank you Melanie.
